Abstract
SUMMARY: Heat transfer coefficients are used to calculate convective and radiant heat losses from pigs of 4, 20 and 60 kg body weight at 20 and 30 °C environmental temperatures for different wind speeds. Comparisons with heat losses estimated from whole-animal calorimetry suggest that calculations with heat transfer coefficients can lead to useful approximate estimates of heat loss from the pig.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
